Hi and why would you want to know that?
They tested He111s and Ju88s with rocket assist.Saw pictures of He 111's there as well.
The V1 (Fi 103) was not a Wehrmacht project but a Luftwaffe project, and was tested at Peenemünde West..................................
These are all quotes taken from various websites. I am a stickler for the truth and I have always been dubious about the V1, V2 and ME262 claims. Of these, the V1 and V2 claims are easy to counter on the grounds that he was contracted to work on a Luftwaffe air-launched weapon project whereas the V1 and V2 (being ground-launched missiles) were Wehrmacht projects.

The only aircraft I have heard mentioned in regards to Peenemunde-west, were rocket powered or rocket assisted.
The Me262 is not one of those.
Erich Warsitz was one of the chief test pilots who flew most of the rocket powered projects at that site, his biography may help shed some light on what all was going in there.
Thanks for your help and I agree with your analysis though I hadn't sliced Peenemünde West's projects in such a clear-cut motive-power-generated way. This may have been due to physical aspects of the airfield facilities - runway surface and length for example. I'm no expert. There were a number of definitive groups testing different products at Peenemünde West and one such group certainly tested the Me 163B Komet. 'Erprobungs - Gruppen E4' (Test Group E4) was responsible for the remote control and signalling systems such as used on the Henschel Hs293 rocket-assisted glide bomb.The only aircraft I have heard mentioned in regards to Peenemunde-west, were rocket powered or rocket assisted.

Well-spotted. Curiously and in agreement with your contention, Peenemünde West tested the air-launched Hs293 glide bomb from beneath the wings of an He 111. For the record, in his excellent book Die Deutsche Luftruestung 1933-1945, author Heinz J Nowarra lists the following aircraft types as carriers of Hs293.Peenemünde West.Saw pictures of He 111's there as well.
I am wrong and you are right about the V1. This accounts for the proximity of the Fi 103 test ramp at the extreme north of the Peenemünde peninsular adjacent to Peenemünde West.The V1 (Fi 103) was not a Wehrmacht project but a Luftwaffe project, and was tested at Peenemünde West.
The V2 (A4) was a Wehrmacht project until the SS took over.
